SkillanNaylor Car Company are pleased to offer this 2021 Audi Q7 55 TFSI e Quattro Black Edition 5Dr Tip Auto seen in Daytona Grey Metallic with Black Nappa Leather.

The Audi Q7 has long been one of the benchmarks in the premium SUV class, combining genuine luxury, huge road presence and the security of Audi’s legendary quattro all-wheel-drive system. This 2021 Audi Q7 55 TFSI e quattro Black Edition adds another dimension to that formula, pairing a powerful 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 petrol engine with plug-in hybrid technology to deliver serious performance alongside the ability to complete shorter journeys using electric power alone.

Finished in Daytona Grey Metallic with Black Nappa Leather upholstery, this is a particularly purposeful-looking example. The Black Edition treatment perfectly suits the Q7’s substantial proportions, while the superb 22" V-Spoke Alloy Wheels give the car exactly the stance a flagship Audi SUV deserves. With 47,445 miles recorded, it presents an attractive opportunity to own a beautifully specified, high-performance luxury SUV.

Underneath the bonnet sits Audi’s 3.0-litre turbocharged TFSI V6, working together with an electric motor integrated into the 8-speed Tiptronic transmission. Combined output is an impressive 381 HP with 600 Nm of torque, enough to propel this large luxury SUV from 0-62 mph in just 5.9 seconds.

That performance is delivered through Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive system. On the Isle of Man, where conditions can change dramatically between Douglas, the Mountain Road and more exposed coastal routes, quattro is a particularly worthwhile feature. It gives the Q7 superb traction and a reassuringly planted character, allowing its considerable petrol-electric performance to be deployed with confidence whatever the weather.

The plug-in hybrid drivetrain also gives the Q7 a completely different character around town. With an official electric range of around 30 miles, many typical Island journeys can potentially be completed without calling upon the V6 petrol engine at all. Charge it at home overnight and trips into Douglas, the school run or everyday errands can be undertaken predominantly on electric power, while the 3.0-litre V6 remains ready for longer journeys.

Perhaps one of the most remarkable numbers attached to this Q7 is its CO₂ figure. Despite being a large quattro SUV with 381 HP, its official emissions are just 65 g/km CO₂ – meaning 12 months Isle of Man Road Tax costs just £65. That is an extraordinary combination of performance, size and relatively low annual road tax.

Official plug-in-hybrid combined economy figures can exceed 100 MPG, although, as with any PHEV, achieving figures approaching the official number depends heavily upon regularly charging the battery and making full use of its electric range. For an owner whose everyday driving consists largely of shorter Island journeys, the TFSI e drivetrain makes a great deal of sense.

Where this particular Q7 really distinguishes itself, however, is its specification.

The cabin is trimmed in sumptuous Black Nappa Leather, with Heated, Electrically Adjustable Front Seats with Memory providing superb long-distance comfort. Audi’s Digital Cockpit replaces conventional instruments with a crisp configurable display, while Apple CarPlay seamlessly integrates your smartphone for navigation, music and communication.

Sound is provided by the superb Bang & Olufsen premium audio system, transforming the Q7’s exceptionally refined cabin into an impressive listening environment. Parking a vehicle of this size is made considerably easier by its 360-degree Camera System, giving the driver a comprehensive view around the vehicle when manoeuvring into tighter spaces.

Practicality is equally impressive. The Gesture Opening & Closing Powered Tailgate makes loading considerably easier when your hands are full, while the Q7 TFSI e offers a substantial luggage area despite the packaging requirements of its plug-in hybrid drivetrain.

The fitted Adaptive Suspension is another important feature. It allows the Q7 to combine the comfort expected of a luxury SUV with impressive body control when the road becomes more demanding. The result is a car equally comfortable covering motorway miles, dealing with broken B-roads or simply making the daily commute into Douglas.

And that really is the appeal of the Q7 55 TFSI e.

It is a substantial luxury SUV capable of delivering 381 HP, 600 Nm and 0-62 mph in just 5.9 seconds, yet one with an electric range of around 30 miles, CO₂ emissions of only 65 g/km and 12 months Isle of Man Road Tax of just £65. It has the traction and all-weather confidence of quattro, the refinement and performance of a six-cylinder petrol engine for longer journeys and the space and quality expected from Audi’s flagship SUV.

Finished in Daytona Grey Metallic, sitting on imposing 22" V-Spoke Alloy Wheels and equipped with an exceptional factory specification including Bang & Olufsen Audio, Nappa Leather, Heated/Electric/Memory Front Seats, 360 Camera, Apple CarPlay, Gesture Powered Tailgate, Adaptive Suspension and Audi Digital Cockpit, this Q7 combines technology, performance and luxury exceptionally well.

For the driver who wants one vehicle capable of being a refined daily commuter, luxurious family transport, confident all-weather SUV and genuinely rapid long-distance GT, the Audi Q7 55 TFSI e quattro Black Edition is an exceptionally complete package.
